@Steve It seems you are saying you can't imagine any scenarios where someone would want to lock their default kernel. I don't think its that difficult, please try.
Here is just one. You work for a company where "official" policy dictates you may only use Windows workstations; any unauthorised software installation is forbidden. Due to pressing business requirements, your boss gives you the go-ahead to install Ubuntu on a workstation as long as nobody finds out. The last thing you need is for a technician to accidentally discover you have a Linux workstation on there - perhaps they were delivering some hardware update. Having grub bork an "unauthorised" error is a good way to achieve that, there is plausible deniability. -- Cannot set lock option in menu.lst without being overriden by update-grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
